### Involvement in Cabazon/Wackenhut Joint Venture
Zokosky was a key participant in the [[Cabazon Indian Reservation|Cabazon]]/Wackenhut Corporation Joint Venture, which aimed to develop and manufacture arms on the reservation. He was considered crucial due to his expertise in the slurry process involved in combustible cartridge cases. He met with Michael Riconosciuto, [[Dr. John Philip Nichols]], and Robert Frye at Picatinny Arsenal in May 1981, where Riconosciuto demonstrated his scientific and technical knowledge of weapons systems, particularly on a Railgun. Zokosky was also present at the September 10, 1981, Lake Cahuilla weapons demonstration in Indio, [[California]], where night-vision goggles and rifles were tested for [[Iran-Contra Affair|Contra]] leaders.[^1]

### Biological Warfare Technology
Zokosky was involved in the proposed development of biological warfare "viruses" at [[Stormont Laboratories]], allegedly developed in cow uteri. He, along with Robert Booth Nichols, presented a proposal to develop biological warfare technology and anti-toxin kits to the Army (Dr. Harry Fair at Picatinny Arsenal) and to [[FMC Corporation]]. This technology was described as capable of selectively wiping out segments of humanity with appropriate genetic material. Zokosky also discussed incubating viruses in fish tanks at [[Hercules Research]], where Michael Riconosciuto allegedly worked on the same technology.[^1]

He believed that Robert Booth Nichols worked for the [[National Security Council|NSC]] and NSA, doing "contract work" for various government agencies, and that Nichols handled "corporate and government" transactions related to narcotics at a higher level.[^1]
